"Yes, but I'm here to resign."
"What?"
"Well, how should I put it? I'm going to a very far place, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for at least one or two decades. So I have no choice but to resign."
"Twenty years?" The light in Zhang Yaqi's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"I'll go say hello to the manager. When I come out later, I'll bring Guan Qin and Li Ya Hui, and we'll all go to Jin Ding for a get-together." Xiao Wenbing pretended not to see her, nodded to her, and went straight into the general manager's office.
After a moment, when he opened the door and came out, Zhang Yaqi's eyes had returned to calm.
Bored, they waited until they got off work, and the four of them gathered together and went to the Jin Ding Hotel, one of the city's most upscale five-star hotels.
Because they arrived late, all the private rooms had already been booked, but they didn't care and casually sat down in the lobby.
"Xiao Wenbing, what kind of fortune did you strike it rich in? Did you win the lottery?" Li Ya Hui's personality was nothing like her name. After learning from her boyfriend that Xiao Wenbing had actually given them a wedding house, she immediately asked.
"No, but I can assure you, it's much more than that."
"I trust you."
"Hmm?" This time it was Xiao Wenbing's turn to be surprised. He believed him based on just one sentence. When did his credibility become so high?
"If you can give that house away, you must be quite wealthy, with more money than you could win the lottery, so it's not surprising."
Xiao Wenbing chuckled to himself, realizing there was such a logic to it.
“Zhang Yaqi…”
A surprised voice came from the corridor, and a young man quickly stepped forward, greeting her with a big smile.
Zhang Yaqi forced a smile, but a hint of disgust was faintly revealed between her brows.
“Wu Hongda.” Cheng Guanqin suddenly stood up, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Xiao Wenbing's brows twitched slightly. So this was Wu Hongda. It seems like enemies always run into each other. He immediately formed a plan in his mind.
"Guanqin, what are you doing? Is it appropriate to be so rude to Mr. Wu?" Xiao Wenbing suddenly stood up, pointed at Cheng Guanqin, and scolded him in a low voice.
The three of them were startled at the same time, only to see Xiao Wenbing standing opposite them, winking at them.
We've been good friends for years, and just by looking at his expression, I knew he must have something else on his mind.
"Mr. Wu, please sit down, please sit down." Xiao Wenbing hurriedly pulled out a chair and respectfully invited him to sit down.
Wu Hongda glanced at him hesitantly, then looked at Zhang Yaqi, and finally sat down.
"Miss, a bottle of Double K, please." Xiao Wenbing called out to the waiter.
Volume One: Farewell to the Mortal World, Chapter Twenty-Five: Revenge
------------------------
Wu Hongda frowned, clearly not liking the cheap drinks, but he didn't say anything out of consideration for Zhang Yaqi.
The waiters were very professional, and the beer was served quickly.
Xiao Wenbing held the beer bottle, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he held it in his hand and kept offering compliments.
With his silver tongue, although he didn't flatter Wu Hongda to the point of ecstasy, he did greatly reduce Wu's wariness.
Cheng Guanqin and the other two looked at each other, puzzled as to what he was up to, but they were all secretly looking forward to a good show.
However, unnoticed by anyone, tiny white particles slowly appeared out of thin air inside the wine bottle held by Xiao Wenbing.
As Xiao Wenbing spoke, he waved his hands excitedly, causing the liquor in the bottle to churn with his movements. The small white particles quickly dissolved into the liquor, leaving no trace.
Half a day later, Xiao Wenbing seemed to wake up from a dream and realized that he was holding a beer bottle in his hand.
He gave an awkward laugh, opened the bottle, and filled a clean glass on the table with beer.
"Zhang Yaqi, Mr. Wu rarely comes here, so please represent us and offer him three toasts as an apology."
Zhang Yaqi looked at Xiao Wenbing, who was making faces and had a strange expression, and finally picked up the wine glass in front of her, handed it to Wu Hongda, and said, "Mr. Wu, please have a drink."
Wu Hongda adopted a debonair and elegant demeanor. He thanked him, took the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.
His brow furrowed again; the taste of this drink seemed rather strange.
However, given his status, he had indeed rarely, if ever, drunk such cheap liquor. Therefore, he merely cursed inwardly and then ignored it.
At Xiao Wenbing's instruction, Zhang Yaqi poured a total of three cups of wine.
However, when Wu Hongda drank his third glass of wine, his mind seemed to be in trouble. His head began to sway, and his vision was filled with strange, colorful images.
After a moment, he stumbled to his feet and swayed as he walked around the hall.
A waitress noticed his unusual behavior and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
Wu Hongda stood there stunned for a long time, then suddenly revealed a lecherous look in his eyes. He reached out and touched the young lady's face directly.
"Sir, you're drunk." The waitress was secretly furious, but her good professionalism prevented her from swearing. She managed to put on a professional smile.
"Ah..." Wu Hongda suddenly opened his mouth and shouted at the loudest volume.
Everyone in the restaurant was startled. They all turned to look, and even several guests in the nearby private rooms peeked out.
"Mr. Wu?"
His status in this circle was clearly quite high, and someone recognized him immediately at a glance.
"Hahaha..." Wu Hongda suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes filled with an indescribable madness and excitement.
Then, he ripped off the buttons of his shirt, and in a few quick movements, his upper body was completely naked. However, he was clearly not satisfied with that, and he even reached into his pants.
Even before he started his striptease performance, the waitress had already kept her distance, turning her head away and not daring to glance in their direction.
Exclamations and laughter echoed from every corner of the restaurant.
Everyone looked at Wu Hongda, who was completely naked, and at the same time, they were certain of one thing: this man had gone mad.
※※※※
Outside the hotel, Xiao Wenbing and Cheng Guanqin stretched out their palms and struck each other heavily in mid-air. They both burst into laughter, their laughter filled with unbridled joy.
The two young ladies had rosy cheeks and were incredibly pretty and adorable.
"Good lad, I've always underestimated you. How did you do that?" Cheng Guanqin was still incredibly excited and asked loudly.
"Shh..." Xiao Wenbing put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and said, "You're going to make a scene that everyone knows about."
"Hehe." Cheng Guanqin immediately shut his mouth and gave a knowing smile.
"It's actually very simple, I just put some drugs in that bottle of beer."
"What medicine?"
"A little bit of hallucinogenic drug was all it took to make him perform a nude dance," Xiao Wenbing explained with a smile.
Cheng Guanqin looked at him with envy and said, "You acted so quickly. I was watching you the whole time, but I didn't even notice when you made your move."
"Tch..." Xiao Wenbing said disdainfully, "If even you can see it, how could I possibly hide it from that idiot?"
Cheng Guanqin glared at him angrily, and was immediately speechless with rage.
In fact, what Xiao Wenbing said was simple, but in practice it was by no means easy.
Since his spiritual power increased significantly and was transformed into an equivalent superpower, his superpower has undergone a series of changes, and it can be said that the power of his superpower has been greatly enhanced.
In the past, if he wanted to create something out of thin air, he first had to be completely focused and single-minded. Secondly, the thing he created could only be held tightly in his palm. If it left his palm, it would immediately turn into nothingness.
However, Xiao Wenbing is now quite different. While talking to Wu Hongda, he activated his supernatural ability, and the hallucinogenic white particles appeared directly in the sealed liquor.
The reason he could use his supernatural abilities to such an extent was entirely due to his cultivation of spiritual power, which further strengthened Xiao Wenbing's resolve to cultivate immortality.
"Xiao Wenbing, you're really too ruthless..." Even Li Ya Hui, a usually generous and beautiful girl, couldn't help but say a few words.
"Is that so? He only has himself to blame, he has no one else to blame." Xiao Wenbing smiled faintly.
"He's just pursuing Yaqi, there's no need to insult her like that." Li Ya Hui glared at him fiercely, but she stood up for him.
"Really? Ask Guan Qin, didn't he tell you?" Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise.
Looking at Cheng Guanqin, she saw him shake his head slightly, and she immediately understood that this guy probably didn't tell his girlfriend about being beaten so as not to worry her.
“I told her that I accidentally fell down from upstairs,” Cheng Guanqin said softly.
"Guanqin, what's the matter?" Li Ya Hui asked when she saw the two of them whispering to each other.
"Sigh, what else could it be? Let me tell you the truth, Wen Bing was just angry that Zhang Yaqi was being harassed by this guy, so he put on a show of being a hero and saving the beauty. And you, you just have to keep asking questions, aren't you afraid of making things difficult for him?" Cheng Guanqin said sternly and solemnly.
“Ah…” Li Ya Hui’s gaze swept over Xiao Wen Bing and Zhang Ya Qi’s faces, and she nodded as if she understood.
However, her actions made the two people next to her feel awkward.

------------------------
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Wenbing, Ya Hui and I have some things to do. You take Zhang Yaqi home first." Cheng Guanqin pulled Li Ya Hui aside, said goodbye to them, and the two of them walked away, bickering and teasing each other.
Xiao Wenbing cursed the kid in his heart for being disloyal, but now he had no choice but to accompany Zhang Yaqi on a aimless stroll through the streets.
"Where did those hallucinogenic drugs come from?" Zhang Yaqi asked softly.
Xiao Wenbing breathed a sigh of relief. The silent atmosphere had indeed been somewhat oppressive; it was much better once she spoke.
"A friend's. I found them interesting, so I took a few to play with," Xiao Wenbing said casually.
